First official Animal Crossing DLC

[Maniac]

What exactly are the WiFi issues? Does it not transfer the new item properly, or something?

That's because it's accessed using a (4-digit hex code, was it?) Could you somehow make a single hex code point at a few items, and then get another number to select the individual item?

1. Things that could go wrong
2. No, what your asking doesn't even make sense.

1. Things that could go wrong

That's... awfully vague. What things could go wrong? Could your Wii get bricked? Could your AC save be trashed? Could the items not sell for much at Nook's?

It was supposed to be vague, and its going to stay that way. At least from me.

I'm guessing there could be some kinda conflict if there are 2 items with the same hex value. And other stuff like that. But I don't know much about it.

I believe that one may overwright the other, but which, I don't know...

So I've heard the DLC.bin file has been found. Is this true?

That's Highly unlikely. but im not sure either.

Yeah, something like that. Let's keep it vague.

> So I've heard the DLC.bin file has been found. Is this true?
Partially. The DLC info has been mostly figured out (see earlier on this thread for .BIN files you can upload to USB Gecko -- or get one from a friend). Don't let the ".BIN" name fool you, that's only my repackaged versions.

Slightly different topic, but related:
The true DLC data comes from the Nintendo servers. For those who want to take a look and figure out the encryption, here's where the game gets them:
http://nwcs.wapp.wii.com/ruu/rvforestdl_jp.enc
[replace "_jp" with "_us" or "_eu"? for other versions]
Right now the _jp download contains a 9216 byte file for the "top". Earlier it was a 9248 byte file for the red pikmin hat (released items one-at-a-time depending on the true calendar dates - not game dates). The _us URL is empty right now.

So if you are looking for a tough challenge, figuring out the encryption scheme may be another way to distribute custom DLC.

Now that would be interesting...

Create our own content, write a code to link to it instead of Nintendo's download source, and then have users download our custom content instead of Nintendo's
